MUA Lip Liners Review

MUA Brooding Plum, Red Drama, Pink Me Up & Softly Lined Lip Liners RRP £1 each

I'm so sorry I haven't updated recently but i've been trying to balance work and my social life as well as being ill the past few days. I'm going to try and update more once things get more settled. So after posting my wishlist about not being able to find these MUA lip liners I actually managed to find all of them! For those of you who don't know anything about what MUA is i'll explain it. It stands for Makeup Academy, a British brand which sells most of their for £1 each! its really great quality stuff yet so cheap! Its one of my favourite drugstore brands. I bought most of their lipsticks a while ago (I might do some swatches) then I found out about their lip liners so had to buy them. I've never actually used lip liner before so I was excited to use these. The presentation is very nice as each liner colour matches the colour of the pencil. They have sharpeners built in on each lid which is very practical. They have a good pigment which is always great. I find they last quite well as a base for lipstick or lipgloss all over my lips rather than just lining  For £1 each they are definitely worth a try. 

DIY: Strawberry Lip Scrub

I've been wanting to try lip scrub for a while now as my lips have been feeling dry and chapped. Instead of paying £6 for a small tub from a shop I decided to make my own.

Ingredients and equipment needed:

• Brown Sugar (White Sugar can work too!)
• Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly
• Strawberry Chapstick (or a flavour you prefer)
• Honey (optional)
• A small tub
• A teaspoon

I mixed the sugar, vaseline and honey together using the end of a spoon as the spoon was a bit too big to mix them together. I cut the end off a strawberry chapstick and added it to the mix which turned the mix a light pink colour to add a slight pink/red pigment as well as more moisturising when I put it on my lips. The scrub is in small tub which I got out of a travel bottle set that I bought a while ago. You can either store it in a cool dry place or a fridge. I'm not sure how long it'll last but for the quick amount of time and no cost (as I had all the ingredients already) it took its worth making again.

It works great and is a pretty colour too! Will you be making your own lip scrub?
